Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element. The terms "upper", "lower", and the like, indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for convenience in describing the present invention and simplifying the description, but do not indicate or imply that the referred devices or elements must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.

The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It will be appreciated that the data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that embodiments of the application may be practiced in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein, and that the terms "first," "second," and the like are generally used herein in a generic sense and do not limit the number of terms, e.g., the first term can be one or more than one. In addition, "and/or" in the specification and claims means at least one of connected objects, a character "/" generally means that a preceding and succeeding related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The upgrade package in the prior art is divided into a complete upgrade package and a differential upgrade package. As the name implies, the complete upgrade package includes data files in the whole system partition of the terminal device; while the differential upgrade package only contains the parts that change between the two versions. Upgrading the computer by using the complete upgrade package to perform system reworking, requiring system partition formatting, and writing new system data into the partition; and the upgrading by using the differential upgrading packet does not need to format the system partition, but only rewrites the content of part of the memory segments.

However, when the terminal device is subjected to OTA upgrade by generating a differential upgrade package in the prior art, the terminal device mostly adopts an embedded system and does not have a hot-upgrade capability, and in addition, most of the binary differential upgrades used for differential upgrade lead to the disadvantages of difficult technical implementation, high upgrade failure rate and difficult recovery after upgrade failure.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a new differential upgrade method, apparatus and working machine.

The differential upgrade method, device and working machine provided by the present invention are described below with reference to fig. 1 to 6.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flow diagram of a differential upgrade method provided by the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, including but not limited to the following steps:

step 101: an upgrading server (hereinafter referred to as an OTA server) generates a differential upgrading packet according to the current plug-in code of the target edge gateway and the plug-in code to be upgraded;

step 102: and the OTA server side sends the differential upgrade package to the target edge gateway so that the target edge gateway can update the current plug-in according to the differential upgrade package.

As an alternative embodiment, the present invention provides an implementation step of generating a differential upgrade package according to a current plug-in code and a plug-in code to be upgraded of a target edge gateway:

1) setting an edge gateway needing version updating as a target edge gateway, and recording a current plug-in of the target edge gateway as: and A.so.1.0, updating the current plug-in by using the plug-in to be upgraded, and recording the plug-in to be upgraded as A.so.2.0.

And respectively calculating the Hash check values of the current plug-in and the plug-in to be upgraded, and storing the Hash check value (Hash value for short) of the plug-in to be upgraded in A.so.2.0.sig.

2) The current plug-in a.so.1.0 and the plug-in to be upgraded a.so.2.0 are respectively encoded by the upgrade server (hereinafter referred to as OTA server):

reading 8 bytes each time, calculating a crc8 check code to be added at the end, carrying out base64 coding on the formed 9 bytes in sequence, and adding a line break character after coding. And writing the current plug-in A.so.1.0 and the plug-in A.so.2.0 to be upgraded into a text file until the whole current plug-in A.so.1.0 and the whole plug-in A.so.2.0 to be upgraded are read, and generating a current plug-in code A.so.1.0.txt and a plug-in code A.so.2.0.txt to be upgraded.

It should be noted that if the number of bytes is less than 8 when the current plug-in a.so.1.0 and the plug-in to be upgraded a.so.2.0 are read for the last time, assuming that there are only 5 bytes, the crc8 check code of the 5 bytes is calculated and appended to the end, then the base64 encoding is performed, and a line swap character is added after the encoding, and the encoding is written into the above text file, so as to generate the current plug-in code a.so.1.0.txt and the plug-in to be upgraded a.so.2.0 txt.

3) Comparing the generated current plug-in code A.so.1.0.txt with the plug-in code A.so.2.0.txt to be upgraded by the OTA server side by using an online code comparison tool to obtain an upgrade patch package, and recording the upgrade patch package as follows: a.so.1.0 — 2.0.txt.patch. And then, calculating a hash check value (hash value for short) of the upgrade patch package A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch, and recording the hash check value as A.so.1.0_2.0. txt.patch.sig.

4) Compressing the upgrading patch package A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch, the Hash check value A.so.2.0.sig of the plug-in to be upgraded and the Hash check value A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch.sig of the upgrading patch package by the OTA server side to generate a differential upgrading package A.so.patch.tar.gz.

It should be noted that cyclic redundancy check (crc) is a data transmission error detection function, which can perform polynomial calculation on data and attach the obtained result to the frame, and the receiving device also executes a similar algorithm to ensure the correctness and integrity of data transmission. The crc8 check code is one of crc check codes: the error checking code is one of the most commonly used error checking codes in data communication field, and is characterized in that the length of the information field and the check field can be 8 bytes.

Base64 is one of the most common encoding methods for transmitting 8-Bit byte codes on a network, and Base64 is a method for representing binary data based on 64 printable characters. Base64 encoding is a binary to character process that may be used to convey longer identification information in the HTTP environment. Encoding using Base64 is not readable and requires decoding before reading.

Further, the OTA server may respond to the configuration determining instruction sent by the OTA control platform, and generate the generated differential upgrade packet a.so.patch.tar.gz of the target edge gateway to the target edge gateway.

The target edge gateway downloads the differential upgrade package A.so.patch.tar.gz, decompresses the differential upgrade package A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch, and obtains the hash check value A.so.2.0.sig of the plug-in to be upgraded and the hash check value A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch.sig of the upgrade patch package.

The Hash check value A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch of the upgrade patch package is used for checking the A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch of the upgrade patch package so as to judge whether data abnormity occurs in the transmission process and ensure the consistency of the A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch of the upgrade patch package before and after transmission.

And under the condition that the verification is passed, fusing the upgrade patch package A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch with the current plug-in code A.so.2.0.txt.1.0. txt by using a patch command to obtain the newly generated plug-in code A.so.2.0.txt to be upgraded.

And decoding the A.so.2.0.txt of the plug-in to be upgraded by using base64, reading the A.so.2.0.txt word by word, removing the escape character, and then decoding to obtain the A.so.2.0 of the plug-in to be upgraded. And then, judging whether the plug-in A.so.2.0 to be upgraded has data abnormality in the data transmission process according to the crc8 check code and the Hash check value A.so.2.0.sig of the plug-in to be upgraded.

And under the condition that the result of the crc8 check is determined to be normal, the edge gateway unloads the current plug-in A.so.1.0, reloads the plug-in A.so.2.0 to be upgraded and completes the hot update of the current plug-in of the target edge gateway.

According to the differential upgrading method provided by the invention, the functional module of the equipment edge gateway is divided in a fine-grained manner, a standard interface is defined for any plug-in, a dynamic link library is combined with a differential technology, and meanwhile, background management is carried out by using an OTA upgrading server, so that a differential patch package can be generated according to the current code and the code to be upgraded of each plug-in, the equipment can be conveniently subjected to batch hot updating, and the mobile flow is effectively saved.

Based on the content of the foregoing embodiment, as an optional embodiment, in the process of sending the differential upgrade package to the target edge gateway, if the communication connection with the target edge gateway is interrupted, the sending of the differential upgrade package to the target edge gateway is stopped;

after the communication connection with the target edge gateway is reestablished, receiving the length and check code information of the downloaded part sent by the target edge gateway;

checking the length and the check code information;

under the condition that the length and check code information passes the check, continuously sending a non-received part to the target edge gateway;

and under the condition that the length and check code information check is not passed, the differential upgrade packet is sent to the target edge gateway again.

Fig. 2 is a signaling diagram of the differential upgrade method provided by the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, in the differential upgrade method provided by the present invention, in the process of downloading the differential upgrade packet from the OTA service end, the edge gateway uses Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) and is based on Secure socket protocol (SSL) or Transport Layer Security protocol (TLS) Transport, so that breakpoint continuous transmission can be effectively supported, upgrade efficiency when the mobile signal is unstable is improved, and mobile traffic is saved.

As an alternative embodiment, the present invention provides a method for downloading a differential upgrade package, including:

1) and sending the plug-in version information and the basic information of the plug-in to be updated in the target edge gateway to the OTA server. Wherein the basic information may include at least one of the following information: the application range of the current plug-in, the equipment code of the edge gateway, the current GPS coordinate, the ECU version, the instrument version, the vehicle VIN code and the like.

2) After receiving the plug-in version information and the basic information of the plug-in to be updated, the OTA server side filters the plug-in to be updated according to the equipment code, the current GPS coordinate, the ECU version, the instrument version, the vehicle VIN code and the like of the edge gateway, and determines the version of the plug-in to be updated.

3) And the OTA server configures the plug-in to be upgraded according to the version of the plug-in to be upgraded, and generates a corresponding differential upgrade package according to the plug-in to be upgraded and the current plug-in.

4) And the edge gateway downloads the differential upgrade package through an MQTT SSL/TLS protocol. MQTT is a message protocol based on a publish/subscribe paradigm under the ISO standard (ISO/IEC PRF 20922). It works on the TCP/IP suite and is a publish/subscribe messaging protocol designed for remote devices with poor hardware performance and in poor network conditions.

SSL or TLS is a security protocol that provides security and data integrity for network communications. TLS and SSL encrypt the network connection between the transport layer and the application layer.

Optionally, during the downloading process, the edge gateway may also upload the upgrade progress through MQTT SSL/TLS protocol.

And under the condition that the mobile internet signal is unstable, if the communication connection between the OTA service end and the target edge gateway is interrupted, the OTA service end stops continuously sending the differential upgrade packet.

When the signal is recovered, the edge gateway reestablishes the wireless communication connection with the OTA service end, and sends the length of the downloaded part and the check code information (such as the crc32 check code) to the OTA service end in the first time.

The OTA service terminal can verify whether the downloaded part of the data is correct according to the crc32 check code. And under the condition that the downloaded part of the data is determined to be normal (namely the length and the check code information are checked to pass), continuously sending the unreceived part to the edge gateway from the downloaded part until the whole differential upgrade package is sent.

In addition, if the length and check code information check is not passed, it indicates that the downloaded part of data is abnormal, and at this time, the OTA server resends the differential upgrade package to the target edge gateway.

After the differential upgrade package is downloaded, the target edge gateway starts to verify the differential upgrade package, and updates the current plug-in by using the plug-in to be upgraded in the differential upgrade package or unloads the current plug-in and reloads the plug-in to be upgraded under the condition that the verification is passed.

It should be noted that, in the differential upgrade method provided by the present invention, the firmware Transmission Protocol includes various protocols such as User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), or hypertext Transfer Protocol over secure Layer (HTTPS) that are used between the edge gateway and the OTA server, between the OTA server and the mobile terminal, or between the OTA server and the OTA console according to actual communication needs, so as to implement breakpoint Transmission.

According to the differential upgrading method provided by the invention, the differential firmware is transmitted by using MQTT + SSL/TSL, breakpoint continuous transmission is supported, the upgrading efficiency when the mobile signal is unstable is improved, and the mobile flow is saved.

Based on the content of the foregoing embodiment, as an optional embodiment, generating a differential upgrade package according to the current plug-in code and the plug-in code to be upgraded of the target edge gateway includes:

calculating a first Hash check value of the plug-in to be upgraded;

respectively coding a current plug-in and a plug-in to be upgraded to generate a current plug-in code and a plug-in code to be upgraded;

comparing the current plug-in code with the plug-in code to be upgraded to generate an upgrade patch package, and calculating a second hash check value of the upgrade patch package;

and compressing the first hash check value, the upgrade patch package and the second hash check value to generate the differential upgrade package.

Optionally, in the differential upgrade method provided by the invention, after receiving the version and basic information of the current plug-in uploaded by the target edge gateway,

when the difference upgrading packet is generated, the OTA server side calculates a hash check value of the plug-in to be upgraded, namely a first hash check value, and stores the result in the A.so.2.0.sig.

The OTA server re-encodes the current plug-in a.so.1.0 and the plug-in to be upgraded a.so.2.0, respectively, to generate the current plug-in code a.so.1.0.txt and the plug-in to be upgraded a.so.2.0.txt, and the encoding method may adopt the method described in the above embodiments, which is not described herein again.

Further, an online code comparison tool (e.g., diff tool) may be used to compare the current plug-in code a.so.1.0.txt with the plug-in code a.so.2.0.txt to be upgraded, generate an upgrade patch package, and calculate a hash check value of the upgrade patch package, and record the hash check value as a second hash check value.

And finally, compressing the first hash check value, the upgrade patch package and the second hash check value to generate the differential upgrade package.

In addition, in the differential upgrade method provided by the present invention, the generation of the differential upgrade package may be generated by a binary differential method.

The differential upgrading method provided by the invention is combined with a Hash check method to produce and generate a differential upgrading packet, not only carries out Hash check on the upgrading patch packet A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch, but also carries out secondary check on the plug-in to be upgraded A.so.2.0 received by the edge gateway through the crc8 check code, and can fully ensure the safety of the updated data.

With reference to fig. 2, the differential upgrade method provided by the present invention not only can implement batch update of the edge gateways supported by the OTA control platform background, but also can support manual upgrade of the mobile terminal, thereby facilitating field management of the edge gateway devices.

determining version information of the plug-in to be upgraded based on the gateway information;

and sending the gateway information and the version information of the plug-in to be upgraded to an upgrade control platform so as to obtain a determined configuration instruction fed back by the upgrade control platform.

And respectively calculating the hash check values of the current plug-in and the plug-in to be upgraded, and storing the hash check value (hash value for short) of the plug-in to be upgraded in A.so.2.0.sig.

2) And the OTA server respectively encodes the current plug-in A.so.1.0 and the plug-in to be upgraded A.so.2.0 to generate a current plug-in code A.so.1.0.txt and a plug-in code to be upgraded A.so.2.0. txt.

3) The OTA server compares the generated current plug-in coding A.so.1.0.txt with the plug-in coding A.so.2.0.txt to be upgraded to generate an upgrade patch package: a.so.1.0 — 2.0.txt.patch. And calculating the Hash check value A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch of the upgrade patch package A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch.

4) Compressing the upgrading patch package A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch, the Hash check value A.so.2.0.sig of the plug-in to be upgraded and the Hash check value A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch.sig of the upgrading patch package by the OTA server side to generate a differential upgrading package A.so.patch.tar.gz.

Further, the OTA server responds to a configuration determining instruction sent by the OTA control platform, and generates the generated differential upgrade packet a.so.patch.tar.gz of the target edge gateway to the target edge gateway.

The target edge gateway downloads the differential upgrade package A.so.patch.tar.gz, decompresses the differential upgrade package A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch, and obtains the hash check value A.so.2.0.sig of the plug-in to be upgraded and the hash check value A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch.sig of the upgrade patch package.

And the target edge gateway fuses the upgrade patch package A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch and the current plug-in code A.so.2.0.txt A.so.1.0.txt to obtain the newly generated plug-in code A.so.2.0.txt to be upgraded.

And the target edge gateway decodes the plug-in code A.so.2.0.txt to be upgraded to obtain the plug-in A.so.2.0 to be upgraded.

and verifying the plug-in to be upgraded by using the first hash check value, and unloading the current plug-in to load the plug-in to be upgraded under the condition that the verification is passed.

Optionally, the target edge gateway verifies the upgrade patch package a.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch by using the second hash check value a.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch of the upgrade patch package to determine whether data is abnormal in the transmission process, so as to ensure consistency of the upgrade patch package a.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch before and after transmission.

And under the condition that the verification is passed, fusing the upgrade patch package A.so.1.0_2.0.txt.patch with the current plug-in code A.so.2.0.txt.1.0. txt by using a patch command to obtain the newly generated plug-in code A.so.2.0.txt to be upgraded.

And decoding the A.so.2.0.txt of the plug-in to be upgraded by using base64, reading the A.so.2.0.txt word by word, removing the escape character, and then decoding to obtain the A.so.2.0 of the plug-in to be upgraded. And then, judging whether the plug-in A.so.2.0 to be upgraded has data abnormality in the data transmission process according to the crc8 check code and the first Hash check value A.so.2.0 sig of the plug-in to be upgraded.
